12:1 Input Quarter-Brick DC-DC Converters for Railway

November 15, 2018 by Paul Shepard

The latest additions to RECOM's railway portfolio are two 40W and 60W dc-dc converter series in quarter-brick packages with an ultra-wide input voltage range of 14- to 160-Vdc making them a universal solution for railway rolling stock applications and high-voltage battery systems.

The 12:1 input voltage range of RECOM's RP40Q-RUW and RP60Q-RUW series covers all input voltages from nominal 24Vdc up to 110Vdc in a single product (including EN50155 transients).

These quarter-brick dc-dc converters are designed for railway rolling stock and high-voltage battery applications and offer basic isolation with regulated 5-, 12-, 15-, 24- or 48-Vdc outputs, including sense and trim pins. They have a consistently high efficiency over the entire input voltage range and an operating temperature range from -40°C up to +85°C (+68°C for the RP60Q-RUW) at full load without forced air cooling.

An optional heat sink allows these converters to provide full load up to +90°C and +77°C respectively. The case is fitted with threaded inserts for secure mounting in high shock and vibration environments.

The converters are CE marked, EN50155 and EN45545-2 certified and come with a three-year warranty. Samples and OEM pricing are available from all authorized distributors or directly from RECOM.
